After a quiet day-one to the test, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Iannone showed similar form to the WorldSBK season-opener in Phillip Island aꦛs he ran inside the top five for large parts of the day.

Iannone, who made a roaring return to racing👍 following a fo⛄ur-year ban, was four tenths off Nicolo Bulega’s top time. 

Bulega narrowly edged out Toprak Razgatlioglu thanks to𓆏 a new unofficial lap record, while Iannone was just behind Danilo Petrucci who got the better of him for P3 in Race 2 at Phillip Island.

Speaking after the test, Iannone saidﷺ: “The goal is aꦑlways similar, I’m a rookie here and it’s just the beginning.

“Everyday I learn something, tyres, setup, electronics… Everꦺy test and every day i💃s much better for me, because I started very far.

“Everyone here have been riding non-stop for 20 years, I stopped four years, and it’s not 🎉e🃏asy to recover. But I’m happy.

“We have a good potential, but the race is always the race. Generally, in the test I strugg꧑le more than in the race, but we will see.”

Also on🤪 circuit for Ducati was their MotoGP test rider Michele Pirro, who was busy testing ‘different sol💟utions’ for factory riders Bulega and Alvaro Bautista.

Also showing very good speed on day-two, Pi🀅rro admitted he would like to get his hands on the Panigale V4 R more often, even in the form of racing as a wildcard as the Italian might not𝄹 be able to do so in MotoGP this season.

Pirro said: “It’s after a long time that I come back to WorldSBK, in fact, five years! It was a good impression be🔴cause I used the Panigale V4 R and Pirellis.

“I got data to try and help Alvaro and others but a﷽lso to develop the bike for the future. The other m🐟anufacturers push very hard and the level is very high.

“I tried different solutions for the weight of🐼 Alvaro, engine parts and the balance of the bike. I wasn’t so far away from the fast ꦗriders, so I’m happy with the first test with a Superbike after a while.

“I hope I continue with Superbike, maybe 🍒another test, perhaps at Misano. Maybe I want to come back for some races but we’ll see!

“I enjoyed ꩵit and we’ll check with Ducati! I enjoyed it with the other riders too; maybe this year, it’s not possible for me to do a wildcard in MotoGP and I hope to come to WorldSBK once or twice.

“I see Nicolo very well; he’s rid🎀ing well, a good guy and fast. It’s very impressive, also the other riders but Nicolo is a good talent and a very go꧑od rider.”
